The card certainly looks great and the bouts will be fun to watch because it has legitimate fighters taking part and they are recognized in the world of kickboxing. I especially reckon the LW main event as a cracker of a bout; well far better than the UFC.

SF is praiseworthy for doing something like this; building a lineup like this and pitching in superior and top most fighters and promoting it along the likes of UFC. Soon we will see that they will outscore UFC.
